Some excellent golf courses in the area include a delightful course at Southend and the challenging Macrihanish Championship course with its famous first tee (The Battery) forcing players to ‘drive’ over the Atlantic. Kintyre offers a wide range of leisure pursuits including sailing, surfing, walking, pony trekking, shooting and fishing.Wildlife is abundant and between September and May, seals can regularly be seen in the waters and on the rocks near the house.
